Forever in Blue: The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood (2007)
by Ann Brashares
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I have listened to all of the "pants" novels and loved them all.
This series by Ann Brashares starts out very strong and falls off a cliff in the last book. The first two are well-realized, strongly plotted explorations of adolescence from various viewpoints. The last is inexplicable and maddening. Brashares seemed, like Alcott, tempted to have an earthquake swallow the girls so she might be finished with them and move on. I'll be interested to read her next book, now that she's put away the pants.
The biggest difference in this is that after three books of seeing these girls as they are with each other is that you finally get to see what happens when they don't have a three-month separation. I actually liked the differences in their personalities (with the exception of Tibby, she doesn't really change much)—Carmen becomes more withdrawn; Lena tries to become more outspoken; Bridget, while still reckless, actually weighs her situation and tries to confront the consequences. Tibby's story was the strongest this time, as the losing her virginity and all of the fears seemed very realistic to me. While I liked the ending of letting the Pants go, the only thing I didn't like was the huge trip to Greece to hunt them down. However, since this was the grand finale to the series, it did seem like a fitting tribute, and I very much enjoyed this.
Thank god this is the last Traveling Pants book. I'm tired of these characters. I'm tired of them doing random things that I really don't think they'd actually do, and being okay with it. The only one I really believe is Tibby-—I think she has her little (and big) freak-outs in a very realistic way, over very realistic situations. The others? I don't think I've ever believed any of their issues. Anyway, it's over now, and hooray.
Book 4 in the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. It is the summer after the freshman year of college. Carmen is avoiding her friends and only has made one friend at school. Bridget's boyfriend is working at a soccer camp in Baja so she is going to Turkey. Tibby and Lena are taking summer classes at school. Will this summer bring the friends closer or further apart? An enjoyable read filled with laughter, fun, and trials.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0385729367, Hardcover)Ann Brashares has created a wonderful, heartfelt series for teens (and adults) around a pair of pants. In her breakout bestseller, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Brashares introduced readers to four girls, Lena, Bridget, Carmen, and Tibby, and to the magical pair of jeans that fit them all perfectly, and inspired them to live their young lives to the fullest. Forever in Blue, the fourth and final novel in the series, promises a dazzling finale--one "last glorious summer" for the four girls, and their fans. See a note from author Ann Brashares, below.--Daphne Durham
A Note from Ann Brashares
December 1, 2006
Dear Amazon Reader,
Well, here we are together again. If you are getting ready to read the fourth book, Forever in Blue, that means we've probably spent some time together. I hope you've enjoyed it. I know I have.
We don't know each other and we may never get to meet, but I feel like we are connected nonetheless. We've spent time with four fictional girls together. We've puzzled over their lives and their choices. We've rooted for them and sometimes felt annoyed by them. We've shared some hopes for them, I think, and in the process for ourselves.
So thank you for being part of the sisterhood with me. I have really appreciated your company along the way.
Happy reading,
Spend Time with the Sisterhood
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:47:30 -0400)
As their lives take them in different directions, Lena, Tibby, Carmen, and Bridget discover many more things about themselves and the importance of their relationship with each other.

Board updated on status of Scrubgrass Road project
Board updated on status of Scrubgrass Road project
Work on Scott Township's Swallow Hill Road may begin later than anticipated, but the project is moving forward.
At the Scott commissioners' July 9 agenda meeting, township engineer Larry Lennon updated the board on the status of the projected repairs to Swallow Hill Road from Greentree to Scrubgrass roads, estimated at $1.5 million.
Lennon said a field survey and traffic counts had been completed, and the utility companies had been notified to ask if they had any repairs that needed done in the area so utility work could be coordinated with the road repairs. He said the gas and phone companies had indicated that their equipment was in good repair, but they have not heard from PAWC.
According to Lennon, bid documents are 70 percent complete, and the engineering firm has been talking with contractors about the feasibility of completing the project by the end of the year. Lennon said that at least one third of Swallow Hill, past Knob Hill apartments, should be able to be completed by year's end. Commissioner Bill Wells said the township should push to have the road completed to Crosswinds Drive.
Lennon said the progress would depend on several factors, including the weather and PennDOT's progress on Scrubgrass Run. Swallow Hill Road is the detour for Scrubgrass Run, so work cannot begin until the Scrubgrass project is completed. Lennon said PennDOT is indicating Scrubgrass Run will be finished in mid-September, which prompted Commissioner Pat Caruso to remark the date was a month past their original stated completion date.
A public works committee meeting is scheduled for Aug. 5 at 7 p.m. to discuss the project in detail. Bid opening is set for Aug. 22, and the contract for the project is expected to be awarded at the board's Aug. 27 regular meeting.
In other business, the board heard from Scott resident Dave King, owner of Designed AV Solutions. The company offers video production, post production, photography and AV installation, and King is in the developmental stages of aerial photography and videography as a hobby.
King has taken photos of various attractions around the city, and offered to take aerial photos of features in the township free of charge.
King takes the photos with a Cinestar 8 optocoptor, an unmanned aircraft (UMA) that he likened to an octopus or spider. According to FAA regulations, the remote controlled UMA must fly under 400 feet and must operate at least five miles away from an airport.
Under current FAA rules, King must operate the aerial photography and videography as a hobby, but by 2015, regulations will be in place for him to operate the services as a business.
Board president Tom Castello had questions regarding privacy issues, to which King replied that he does not fly over private property without permission.
Energy Conservation
Some of the residents of Scott Township's Glendale neighborhood were surprised with a bag full of energy saving items donated by Duquesne Light. On June 29, volunteers randomly visited 150 homes to deliver the bags, which included CFL bulbs, a power strip and bookmarks with energy saving tips to help homeowners conserve energy and reduce their energy bills.
Also included was an invitation to a free program about energy conservation at 7 p.m. July 24 in the main meeting room at the Scott Township Municipal Building. Open to all township residents, the program to help residents reduce energy costs is sponsored by ReEnergizePgh ambassador Jane Sorcan.
To register for this program or for more information, call Jane Sorcan at 412-276-5820 or email email@example.com.

6 people recommend parking here 4 left comments
Parking at LAZ parking garage was very convenient, easily assessable and the price for parking was very reasonable. Being able to pay for parking ahead of time freed me up to not have to carry extra cash or worry if I had enough to pay at the end of the evening. I recommend LAZ for your parking needs.
Close to everything and very easy to find.
It was very convenient to be able to search the closest parking lot and rates in advance of our trip to downtown Denver, Knowing exactly where we going in advanced also saved time. Would absolutely recommend.
Price was good and spots were even better.
This 8 story, 340 space parking garage has a light brown exterior with black rails at every opening. We are conveniently located just a block from the 16th St. Mall with easy access to The Pavilions. The Pavilions is a large retail portion of the mall including Lucky Strike Bowling, Movie Theater, and several retail / resturant locations.
Vehicle height restriction: 79 inches
This location is a commercial parking garage.
This commercial parking garage is located on Tremont Pl between 16th St and 17th St. Driving west on Tremont from 17th St, the entrance will be on your right following the first high rise on that block. Look for "410 Building Parking Garage" on the side of the building.

Helping a sick woman is the last thing Sam wants to do. As the harried CEO of a large furniture manufacturer, he has retreated to his secluded cabin to spend the holidays in pleasant isolation.
Sam is more than a little disillusioned with women. His ex-wife worshipped her youthful figure more than the unborn child she carried. She aborted the baby before informing Sam of her intentions. Naturally, the marriage soon ended and with it Sam's trust in women.
Carrie's trust in men has been seriously compromised as well. Her ex-husband, Justin, left her holding the bag when a fraudulent investment scheme he developed wiped out the savings of many innocent investors. Justin fled the country, but not before raping his ex-wife and leaving her pregnant.
It's no wonder these two have an issue with trust.
Sam's conscience keeps him from sending Carrie away, and he talks her into staying in his guest room until she can recuperate. It's obvious these two were made for each other, but the negative baggage they carry cause them to make all the wrong choices in their developing relationship. This is another example of a book that would end much sooner, with a lot less heartache, if the characters would simply confide in one another.
There was one scene that really stood out for me. Sam and Carrie are in the supermarket, and Sam, like many men, hates to shop. Soon the two are snapping at one another over insignificant things until Sam gets fed up, finds his own shopping cart and does his own shopping. This scene is funny and endearing. Just because they are in love doesn't mean they can't get on each other's nerves. This slice of life really brought the characters alive.
There's really no new ground in this simple tale of two wounded souls and I found the book a bit too easy to put down. But if you are in the mood for a cozy holiday read about the redeeming qualities of love, then That Loving Touch may be just the book for you.
--Karen Lynch

Peanut butter... everyone loves it, right?
As for me, I've gotten tired of the commercial brands...too much salt, and/or sugar etc. I now make my own from spanish peanuts which I buy raw, dry roast (320 degrees for 20 minutes), use my old vita-mix to make the butter, then mix it with one third honey. Very satisfying, delicious and even nutitious.

Amazing Medicine Patient Stories
Community Benefit Report
Longest-surviving patient of triple bypass coronary surgery
For something to be included in The Guinness Book of World Records, you know it has to be amazing. Like when, on April 24, 2004, Karl Dølven, age 106, and Gudren Dølven, age 103, of Hole, Norway, became the oldest married couple in the world in aggregate age (a combined 210 years and 65 days).
Or when, at age 85, Delbert D. McBee of Springfield, Oregon, became the longest-surviving patient of triple bypass coronary surgery. A trucker by trade, McBee unwittingly began his long haul toward a world record on Dec. 20, 1973, at the age of 49. That's when he turned to Dr. Stan Baldwin and his team at Sacred Heart to ease the crushing pain in his chest. McBee spent six hours undergoing what at the time was pioneering open-heart surgery at Sacred Heart, and he credits Baldwin's efforts with making a very special meeting possible.
"The hospital, Dr. Baldwin and his team were wonderful. They took the pain away," McBee said." Thanks to Sacred Heart, I got to see my first grandson right after my surgery. That meant the world to me."
His second grandson, Chuck, had a hand in McBee's entry in The Guinness Book of World Records on April 25, 2007.
"I would have never known if it weren't for my grandson, who received a Guinness Book of World Records as a gift for Christmas. When he read that a man in the UK held the record, he yelled excitedly, 'Grandpa, you beat him!'"
With the help of his neighbor, Tina, McBee got his world record certificate. And thanks to Dr. Baldwin and Sacred Heart, Delbert and his wife of 63 years are still gaining on Karl and Gudren Dølven.

True Defiance
Demon Hunter's sixth full-length album "True Defiance" will be available in stores and online April 10th!
Produced by Aaron Sprinkle (Anberlin, Emery) and mixed by Jason Suecoff (All That Remains, Trivium), "True Defiance" finds Demon Hunter continuing in their hard rock evolution while embracing the components that have always formed the backbone of their music: true metal, dark rock and balladry.
"This record is without a doubt our most aggressive," says vocalist and band co-founder Ryan Clark. "Every Demon Hunter record must be a step up from the last. I know that's a goal for every band, but it seldom works that way - especially today, especially in metal. It seems like most bands' prime years are long behind them. I refuse to let that be the case for us."
On "True Defiance," Ryan Clark, Tim "Yogi" Watts (drums), Jonathan Dunn (bass) and Patrick Judge (lead guitar) are joined by their longtime friend Jeremiah Scott (guitar), whose credits as a metal musician (The Showdown) and producer (Living Sacrifice) are well established. The partnership marks a vital new chapter in the celebrated history of Demon Hunter, who are currently in their 10th year of writing, breaking and erasing the rules of hard rock. Not ones to rest on their laurels, however, the members have created an album that not only lives up to their own lofty standards, but sets a new high-water mark for what DH is capable of.
"We've been extremely underwhelmed with metal for the last five years or so, and that's been the fuel to create this record," Clark explains. "With an extreme over-saturation of false, fleeting, trend-hopping noise in today's metal scene, we had to make something we've been longing to hear. Something truly meaningful and artistic. Something our fans would love and something that will turn the heads of those who have ignored us for the past decade."

Jay Z – Izzo (H.O.V.A.) Lyrics
[Produced by Kanye West]
Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the 8th wonder of the world
The flow of the century, oh it's timeless, HOV!
Thanks for coming out tonight
You could've been anywhere in the world, but you're here with me
I appreciate that
[Verse 1]
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
For shizzle my nizzle used to dribble down in VA
Was servin' em in the home of the Terrapins, got it dirt cheap for them
Plus if they was short with cheese I would work with them
Brought in weed, got rid of that dirt for them
Wasn't born hustlers, I was birthing em
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
For sheezy my neezy keep my arms so breezy
Can't leave rap alone, the game needs me
Haters want me clapped in chrome, it ain't easy
Cops want to knock me, D.A. wants to box me in
But somehow I beat them charges like Rocky
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Not guilty, he who does not feel me
Is not real to me, therefore he doesn't exist
So poof! -- vamoose, son of a bitch!
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
For shizzle my nizzle used to dribble down in VA
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
That's the anthem, get your damn hands up!
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Not guilty y'all got to feel me
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
That's the anthem, get your damn hands up!
[Verse 2]
I do this for my culture
To let them know what a nigga look like when a nigga in a Roadster
Show them how to move in a room full of vultures
Industry is shady, it needs to be taken over
Label owners hate me, I'm raising the status quo up
I'm overcharging niggas for what they did to the Cold Crush
Pay us like you owe us for all the years that you hoed us
We can talk, but money talks, so talk more bucks
[Verse 3]
Hov' is back, life stories told through rap
Niggas acting like I sold you crack
Like I told you sell drugs; no, Hov' did that
So hopefully you won't have to go through that
I was raised in the projects, roaches and rats
Smokers out back selling their mama's sofa
Lookouts on the corner focused on the ave
Ladies in the window, focused on the kinfolk
Me under a lamp post, why I got my hand closed?
Crack's in my palm, watching the long arm of the law
So you know I seen it all before
I've seen Hoop Dreams deflate like a true fiend's weight
To try and to fail: the 2 things I hate
Succeed, and this rap game: the 2 things that's great
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
What else can I say about dude? I gets bu-sy
Edit song description to add:
- Historical context: what album the song's on, how popular it was
- An explanation of the song's overall story (example: "In this song, Eminem corresponds with a crazed fan who ends up...")
- The sample used for the beat — use WhoSampled.com and wikipedia as references

Babytrekker - Deluxe 5 position carrier
" I love my babytrekker. It's super comfy and once you figure it all out, I find it rather simple to use. My sons both seemed to feel comfortable in it and I was able to use it with my second boy from birth to a bit over 18 months with no issues. I'd have used it longer but I mostly use it to take walks and started letting him walk around with us a little after that and then I got preggo again..." --dayiscoming2006
Patapum Baby Carrier
" This was a gift and it was by far the most valuable thing I was ever given for my son. I still use this carrier today (although I have modified it to have a longer body for his nearly 4 year old self). We used this carrier daily for at least two years when my son was a baby. It goes on so easily, and I can get him off while asleep and remain asleep. None of the buckles..." --Pumpkin_Pie
Patapum Toddler Carrier
" We got this carrier because at 6 months my daughter was 22 pounds, and we knew we would want to carry her past the weight limits of some of the other carriers. I used this carrier until she got to be tall enough to hit the back of my knees with her feet, which was at around 3.5 years old. I could still carry her in it at this point, but it would be kind of funny. Both..." --AdinaL

Arzu is the best facialist! – I have been fighting with an up-flare on acne ever since I've moved to Texas and I've been to several top of the line spas in Dallas and the metroplex and I have to say, Arzu has truely understood my skin. I've had 4 facials so far and my fiance has acknowledged that, " Yes, whatever she's doing, it's working!" My acne scars on my face are lightening up and with the instruction of Arzu, I'm using certain products day and night and it has slowed down the number of pimples also. I'm very glad I came upon luxury on lovers and Arzu altogether, I had almost given up and with my wedding coming around the corner, I want to look my best! Thank you Arzu, you have a special talent!
Luxury on Lovers – I just had my fifth or sixth facial with Arzu at this place.
My skin glows for weeks afterwards and I have been
getting compliments specifically on how my skin looks.
Their techniques are the latest in skincare and far
more advanced than facials I had before finding
them. Also, the atmosphere in the salon is really
nice - elegant, restful and NOT snobby at all!!
OMG! So fab – Wow is all I can say. My friend from out of town gave me a gift certificate for a facial and massage. I've been to some of the top spas all over the world, and must say say the staff at Luxury is unrivaled. My skin was glowing, (never looked so good!), my facialist incredibly knowledgeable, and my massage was pure heaven. They had to come wake me up!!! Can't wait to go back!
An Experience You'll Want To Have – I've lived in Dallas for about a decade now & have never found a Spa I felt truly comfortable in...well, I have now. Luxury On Lover's has such a warmth and soothing energy about it, I was pleasantly surprised. I had an amazing facial, the aesthetician was incredibly professional & knowledgeable. Once my facial had ended, she met me downstairs & directed me to some products that she elegantly explained to me...btw, the products work, I've been using them as directed & can see such a difference in my skin. The owner, Lisa, was there, she's a smart woman-she has a talented staff and she's got an ease about her that makes you feel important and welcome. Please check out this great Spa, located just passed the Inwood Village...it's worth your time. ENJOY!
Amazing facial... adorable place! – Simply put: my pores have never looked this good!
I purchased the HydraFacial treatment through Groupon awhile ago. When I got there, I loved how cute the whole place was! It's in an old, two-story house that has such a warm and cozy feel. It was perfect.
And my facial was awesome!!! My facialist was Marilee and she talked me through the entire thing and made me feel so comfortable. Afterwards, my pores looked SO GOOD! Seriously, I couldn't beleive how great my skin looked.
Only con: The place was a bit hard to find at first. I actually drove past it once. Oops. Just slow down and look for the orange (I think?) sign out front.
DALLAS BEST SPA – I had to write a review about Luxury On Lovers after I had gone in for a gift facial from my wife. She has been going to the spa for many years and always raves about how great the services are and how wonderful the people at the spa treat customers. I had never had a facial before so I was a little uncertain about what to expect but I was delighted by my experience there. The person who greeted me was friendly and made sure I was comfortable while filling out the forms needed. My facial was relaxing and definitely made me look and feel younger. My facialist was very helpful and considerate in explaining what she was doing and showing me some products that I would have never known about without her help. I am now going back regularly for facials and using products recommended by her. All the people at the spa were very gracious and helpful including the the people who check you out and always make sure you are satisfied and happy with your experience there. I look forward to going to my facials now because all the people at the spa are positive, helpful and very knowledgeable which makes you feel great and of course I always look marvelous after my treatment!
GOOD FACIAL, BAD ESTHETICIAN – After reading many positive reviews on this site, I decided to give Luxury on Lovers a try and went in to get a facial.
When I arrived I was greeted by two friendly people and was offered a drink while I filled out some forms. A woman then lead me upstairs to start my treatment, so far so good.
I sat under a LED light for the first 30 minutes of my facial. This part was really relaxing- there was soft music playing and the room was really warm and comfortable. That same friendly woman from the front kept checking on me to make sure I was doing okay. I was really loving my experience so far, but unfortunately things got worse.
After my time under the light was up, I was greeted by the esthetician who would finish my facial. At first I thought she was nice, but after I laid down to begin the facial she would not shut up about how dry my skin was and how bad my acne was. (I don't even have acne, just a few pimples occasionally!) She was telling me that I was getting some stage of acne that you can never get rid of and that I needed to schedule another $150 treatment with her next week to get rid of it. She also criticized me for using department store cosmetics and facial cleanser and tried to sell me all the facial products in the spa. I was really annoyed because not only did I feel that I was being criticized, I wanted to relax for the remainder of my time!
Finally I was able to return downstairs after the facial was over. I was then greeted by another nice lady that checked me out and talked to me about the treatment I had received. She was really helpful and even recommended some things that I should talk to my dermatologist about that could help my skin.
I feel like Luxury on Lovers is a good spa, I just happened to get a facial with the WORST esthetician they have. I have to give 1 star because of how terrible my experience was during the facial.
I am so very sorry about your experience; I am looking into what transpired and assure you corrections will be made. We strive to provide the best, result oriented service in a warm and welcoming environment and I apologize this was not your experience. I would greatly appreciate your letting us make it up to you by coming in for a package of complimentary lightwave treatments and a facial done by my lead expert aesthetician. I hope you will allow us to make it up to you and shall look forward to hearing from you.
Yours truly,
Lisa Cobb
WORST FACIAL EVER!!! – I got this facial as a result of buying a Groupon, so I was looking forward to this treatment as it would be my first facial ever.
The house the "spa" is located in is a nice house, with cute jewelry for sale. Nothing seemed bad.
I spoke to my facialist for a minute before going into their main facial room and she seemed very knowledgeable and helpful.
*As soon as I got in the main facial room and laid down, she immediately started telling me how bad my skin was. At first I thought she was just going to tell me what products I should start using to improve my skin, but no... this conversation (mainly on just her part) lasted the ENTIRE facial.
I understand wanting the client to know what is and is not good for their skin but demeaning them the whole time they're there? Really?
She did a half-ass job with the facial in general, and wouldn't shut up about what vitamins I need to keep my face healthy and if I don't obey then I could, and I quote, "need a total face lift by the time I'm 26".
By the end of the facial I was so tired of her talking I just wanted to get out of there. She put what I thought was normal moisturizer on my face and then I went back downstairs only to find out it was a tinted moisturizer splotched all over my face.. WHO DOES THAT??! It wasn't even my skin color!! I looked like I had a skin disease.
I was expecting a relaxing day at a cute spa but my experience was far from that. I would *NEVER* recommend this spa to ANYONE. This woman (who's name escapes me) may have been knowledgeable about skin care, but I did not pay $200 to have someone tell me how awful my skin is for an hour.
I am so sorry to have not responded earlier. I sincerely apologize for your experience and am looking in the situation and will take appropriate measures to make sure this never happens again.. I would very much appreciate the opportunity to make it up to you by comping you a service of your choice.I would love for you to try a facial with my lead aesthetician and provide for you the great results and experience we have become known for. Your username on this site doesn't correspond to any names in our system, so please contact me personally so that I may be sure you are taken care.
Yours truly,
Lisa Cobb
EXCELLENT FACIALS AND SERVICE!! – As a long-running customer of one of the staff at Luxury, I followed her to Luxury and cannot say enough positive things about my experiences there! The service is excellent (they actually CARE about your skin-- i've even had discounts, trials, etc when a product wasn't working as effectively as my facialist wanted it to!) and the woman who I work with, Arzu, knows SO much about skin and the appropriate products and takes the absolute best care of her clients!! As a young adult, I do admit the prices are a little high, but definitely reflected in the quality and service!! Go get taken care of now!!!
No Limits on Luxury! – Working in the cosmeceutical industry affords me the opportunity of being familiar with several of the local spas. My choice is Luxury on Lovers! Not only does the atmosphere put you right at ease but the staff is knowledgeable, experienced and most of all friendly. They make sure that you are pampered in all facets of your visit! I booked a special day for me and my daughter who was getting married and a couple of days before the appointment & wedding my sister passed away. LOL unknowingly was able to provide comfort, relaxation and of course beauty to both of us during a tragic time. I would highly recommend LOL as your "spa of choice" but especially for special events and occasions! Lisa knows and understands what it takes to make each person that walks thru the doors of LOL feel unique and at home. LOL is definitely the only one of its kind!

TROY -- The European-looking white coat of paint with black accents, along with other exterior renovations at 450 and 452 Broadway, have been catching the eyes of those passing by of late, prompting them to take a peek inside, compliment the buildings' new owners and inquire when the new pub will open.
Thirsty residents need wait no longer with Finnbar's Pub officially opening on Friday evening just in time for this month's Troy Night Out.
Family, friends and employees of the business have been working diligently since May on the brick adjoining structures, which date back until at least 1862 when the edifices survived Troy's Great Fire, said co-owner Sean Costello, who will manage the Irish family-style pub with his wife, Megan.
"It's what we've always wanted -- a family-style Irish pub in a beautiful old building," he said. "This is not just another Irish pub. It's a tribute to old school Troy."
While a lot has visibly changed -- including the fa�ade, the decorations and even the kitchen -- much has also remained the same to allow some nostalgia for customers of Holmes and Watson, the name of the establishment from 1978 until April of this year, when the owner at the time, Matt McKeown, felt it was time to move on to a new venture.
The young couple, especially Megan, said they spent time in local stores and antique shops to find the right d�cor to match the setting they were envisioning. The downstairs dining area now features black and white photos of various scenes from Troy's past, including when Theodore Roosevelt visited the city.
"It's an exciting adventure," said Joe Costello, Sean's father, who purchased the building for the couple to run the business. "It's a beautiful, historic city and we're happy to contribute to keeping true to the roots of this facility."
Originally from Troy, Sean Costello went to Sacred Heart School and grew up in the city. About 18 years ago, he started running Hollywood Caf� on Lark Street with a friend and employer who was serving in the military. Costello still visited Troy, however, and became friends with Dave Gardell, owner of the Ruck, who eventually told him that the Holmes and Watson location would be perfect for fulfilling his family's dream of owning an Irish pub.
After spending $193,000 on the purchase of the property, the Costellos say they have spent about $100,000 to date on renovations and improvements, including upgrades to both the draft beer system in the main bar area and the kitchen, which, according to head chef Michael Cunningham, will serve meals featuring locally produced and seasonal items.
The Costellos already have additional improvements planned, namely transforming the second floor into a banquet and dining hall with a lounge and constructing an outside second-floor deck for bistro seating. Those who wish to dine outside this summer won't have to wait for that project to be complete; current options include seating on the courtyard patio, with strings of lights above the tables, or on the sidewalk patio out front.
The Costellos had initially planned to open in early June but the timeline kept getting pushed back due to various issues that arose while repairing the old building and its infrastructure.
The 3,500 square foot pub with about 20 employees is named after the Costello's 3-year-old son, Finnbar. The name is Gaelic and means "fair-skinned one." The couple also has a 1 �-year-old daughter named Rose.
Finnbar's Pub opens Friday at 5 p.m. with food being served until 9:30 p.m. Though closed on Sundays, regular hours will be 11 a.m. to around 2 a.m., with food served until 9:30 p.m.
On Friday, the Beatles tribute band called the All Paul Show will perform as part of Troy Night Out. Cunningham will feature an Irish menu, including an Irish stew.

The best recognition efforts often start small and build over time. Take, for example, the Reward of Excellence program at Herbalife, the health and nutrition company based in Los Angeles.
It all started when the distributor services department at Herbalife decided that it wanted to increase the amount of recognition being used and find a better way for employees to recognize one another. The department heads looked at various incentive suppliers, called references, and finally selected The Bill Sims Co. (www.billsims.com) to help launch a departmental recognition program.
The program used two-part "WOW!" cards to provide employees with a means to jot thank-you notes or praise to any other employee. One part of the card went to the employee, and the other part went into a recognition box that was reviewed monthly by six volunteer members of a recognition committee.
The committee then selected the most stellar example from the WOW! cards each month, whose name was posted on a WOW! bulletin board. That person was given points toward merchandise awards, as well as tickets for a drawing for a cruise. All of the honorees were also automatically submitted to the company's "All Star" program for additional recognition and visibility.
To give the program the best chance for success, Herbalife started it with a trial period of three months, over which time they collected feedback from employees. For example, when they found out that employees were unhappy about having to pay freight and handling for merchandise they had selected, they built those amounts into the awards. (Employees preferred this, even though they needed more points to earn the same merchandise.) Once the kinks were ironed out, it was easy to duplicate the program in other departments with the help of human resources.

Marowak has, by far, the highest Attack stat in the game with a Thick Club equipped. Furthermore, it gets access to Swords Dance to instantly hit the 999 Attack cap and a STAB Earthquake to run off that impressive Attack stat. However, Marowak is very frail and very slow, and despite its impressive attacking strength, it still fails to guarantee OHKOs against several prominent threats even after a Swords Dance boost. Therefore, a lot of prediction and team support is required to get Marowak to perform well on a team. However, when everything does come together for Marowak to work properly, it can single-handedly demolish the opposing team.
Marowak is the hardest hitter in the game, and this set takes a very basic approach toward maximizing Marowak's wallbreaking capabilities. Earthquake is the STAB move that guarantees a 3HKO against everything that doesn't resist it. This doesn't sound terribly impressive at first; given how frail Marowak is, you'd expect at least 2HKOs all over the place. However, Marowak doesn't just 3HKO foes, it comes very close to 2HKOs, as illustrated by the following damage calculations. Note that, for these calculations, Marowak's Attack stat is set to 254 (508 after the Thick Club boost) by lowering the Attack DV to 13. Also, be aware that defending Pokemon have maximum values (without a nature boost) for all stats in GSC.
Of course, being close to 2HKOs is not ideal, but with some team support and a little bit of residual damage, these KOs can become a reality. Additionally, Marowak runs Rock Slide to 2HKO Zapdos. Hidden Power Bug is the final coverage move, and it allows Marowak to OHKO Exeggutor as it switches in (although it is just short of being a guaranteed KO). However, if Marowak is paired up with Heal Bell support, Hidden Power can be forgone for Rest to allow Marowak the ability to heal off damage and make a second attempt at wallbreaking. Finally, Swords Dance is the move that allows Marowak to transform from an instant offensive threat to a hole-punching wallbreaker by raising its Attack to the 999 cap. However, Swords Dance can be very difficult to set up, and even after a Swords Dance boost, Marowak can miss out on guaranteed OHKOs against important foes, as illustrated in the damage calculations to follow. Note that, in the following damage calculations, Marowak has used Swords Dance to boost its Attack two stages to reach the maximum possible Attack stat of 999.
Thus, the secret to using Swords Dance is to first put the appropriate support in place; a defensive landscape with a lot of paralysis and residual damage allows Marowak to easily clean up, as do dual screens and passing Agility boosts. However, one crucial moment to consider using Swords Dance without a huge amount of support is when you believe the opponent will be switching to Skarmory. Skarmory takes very little damage from any of Marowak's unboosted attacks, but after Swords Dance boosting Marowak's Attack to 999, Rock Slide does 43%-50% to Skarmory, which is a solid 3HKO. Even if Skarmory tries to use Whirlwind to phaze or Curse to reduce Rock Slide's damage to below the 3HKO threshold (29%-34%), the 27% flinch rate (factoring in accuracy) makes KOing Skarmory possible. However, unless you use Swords Dance on the switch, Skarmory can easily tank whatever Marowak has to dish out while whittling away its health with Drill Pecks, and attempting to play for the flinch against a +1 Skarmory can be risky thanks to its boosted Drill Peck.
One thing to note about the Swords Dance set is that, due to a bug in GSC, the Attack stat before the Thick Club boost must be 255 or lower. Otherwise, after a Swords Dance boost, Marowak's Attack stat after the Thick Club boost will roll over to something hilarious like 8 instead of simply capping at 999. That kind of Attack stat barely scares a Level 2 Rattata, let alone the top physical walls of GSC. Using Hidden Power Bug forces the use of a 13 Attack DV (the GSC equivalent to an IV), which automatically sets Marowak's Attack at 254. However, if you decide against using Hidden Power on Swords Dance Marowak for whatever reason, be sure to lower Marowak's Attack stat, either by lowering the Attack DV to 13 or by reducing Stat Experience (roughly equivalent to EVs) to achieve 255 Attack.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Using Body Slam over Hidden Power on the Swords Dance set allows Marowak to create its own paralysis support, but forces Marowak to miss out on that crucial OHKO against Exeggutor. Fire Blast could be used over Swords Dance and possibly paired with Body Slam to make Marowak an all-out attacker. Fire Blast handily 3HKOes Skarmory without requiring the use of a boosting move beforehand, but that's about all it's good for. Hidden Power Flying can be used over Hidden Power Bug on the Swords Dance set to OHKO Heracross while still 2HKOing Exeggutor and nearly ensuring an OHKO against Exeggutor after a Swords Dance boost. Finally, Marowak can attempt to use a RestTalk set to give it some semblance of longevity. However, RestTalk Marowak hardly compares to other RestTalk users since its defenses, typing, and lack of Leftovers recovery prevent it from switching in very easily. Thus, it's less of a status-absorbing tank and more of a watered-down sweeper.
Checks and Counters
Skarmory is one of the best counters to Marowak, as it doesn't fear anything Marowak can dish out aside from Swords Dance-boosted Rock Slides and the uncommon Fire Blast. Even if Marowak has used Swords Dance to threaten with Rock Slide, Skarmory can use Whirlwind to phaze, chip away at Marowak's health with Drill Peck (which only does 22%-26% to Marowak, but every bit of damage counts), or even use Curse to take only 29%-34% damage from +2 Rock Slides (not even a guaranteed 4HKO with Leftovers) while threatening to hit back with boosted Drill Pecks. Suicune is also an excellent Marowak counter, especially with a RestTalk set. Suicune threatens to easily 2HKO Marowak, although it does take heavy damage when switching into an Earthquake. With Sleep Talk, however, Suicune is able to freely use Rest to shrug off those Earthquakes while still threatening to 2HKO Marowak. Cloyster is another good switch-in, but unlike Suicune it takes the same damage from both Rock Slide and Earthquake, so baiting Rock Slides with Zapdos does nothing to make Cloyster's switch in any easier. Furthermore, Cloyster does not last nearly as long as Suicune, so it is much easier for Marowak to wear Cloyster down on the switch. Starmie and Vaporeon are other solid checks that can force Marowak out by threatening to 2HKO with Surf, but they must be wary when switching in, as Earthquake handily 2HKOes them and can OHKO after a Swords Dance boost.
Aside from Skarmory and Water-types, Exeggutor can switch into anything except for Hidden Power Bug and then threaten to use Sleep Powder, Explosion, or a strong special attack. If nothing else, Exeggutor poses enough of a threat to Marowak to bait Hidden Power Bug, which in turn makes it much easier for Water-types to switch into Marowak. Heracross resists Earthquake and only really fears Hidden Power Flying while dealing heavy damage to Marowak in return with Megahorn. However, Megahorn is an unlikely 2HKO against Marowak (it deals 45%-52%) whereas, after a Swords Dance boost, Marowak is guaranteed to 2HKO Heracross with Earthquake. In addition, Zapdos is somewhat of a Marowak check. Zapdos's Hidden Power Grass or Ice will do 43%-50% damage to standard Marowak, so it cannot outpace Marowak's damage output in a one-on-one situation unless it gets very high damage rolls, but it can do significant damage to Marowak while avoiding being OHKOed by Rock Slide and baiting Rock Slides to make it easier for other Marowak checks to switch in.
In general, the best way to neutralize Marowak is to simply attack it. For example, the 46%-54% Snorlax takes from Earthquake isn't necessarily permanent, but the 41%-48% Snorlax does to Marowak is forever due to the lack of Leftovers and defensive aptitude. Zapdos can recover off the heavy damage it takes from Rock Slide, whereas the Hidden Power damage Marowak takes is permanent. Being able to take "temporary" damage to get hits in on Marowak tends to neuter its ability to threaten your team significantly. Just make sure that you don't leave anything in on Marowak that actually does end up being OHKOed.

A commission is a request by a fur, non-fur or mundane art patron who hires and pays (money, exchange or bater wise), for the creation of a furry piece of art (a commission), from a artist, writer, musician, fursuit maker, or creator of any other type of work, for himself or on behalf of another person/group.
[edit] Art restrictions
Not all artists accept commissions, and those that do typically have restrictions on what kinds of artwork they may draw, limited by subject matter/activities depicted, media used, or time constraint.
[edit] Media
The art commissioned (i.e. conbadges, user icons, portraits of their characters, etc), can be done via traditional art materials (via pencil, paint, pen, etc), figural (maquettes, statues, figurines etc), fursuit related commissions (from appendages to full body costumes), or Computer Generated (same as traditional, trading for pixel/vector media).
Less commonly, a writer may take story commissions, or a musician may take commissions to compose a song and/or produce a recording of it.
[edit] Payment
The range of commission media available is as little or vast as the price for them. Prices for commissions vary widely by artist and complexity of the work sought. The payment can be direct, or via a bid.
[edit] Electronic commissioning
Some art can be commissioned electronically, no matter the medium. Some websites exist where you can bid on already completed works, such as eBay, completed art and available commissions (FurBid-SF, FurBuy), furry art galleries with commission options (Weasyl), or dedicated art commission only sites (FurArtist).

In Texas Monthly, Robert Draper pens the cover story on the steady decline of Democrats in the Lone Star State, and how maybe - just maybe - demography and a few politicians could turn things around. Of course, as keen observers of Texas politics have noted, those things are nice, but without $30 million to drop on statewide campaigns all this is nothing by a Democratic dream.
Regardless, Draper's article, The Life and Death (and Life?) of the Party, is worth a look. This section in particular should ring familiar to followers of Alabama politics:
"Wendy Davis was born in 1963, a year that marked the apogee of Democratic dominance in Texas. A Democrat named John Connally was governor, and by year's end, a Democrat named Lyndon Johnson would occupy the White House. State and local elections featured two types of politicians: liberal Democrats and conservative Democrats. The state's senators were Ralph Yarborough, a populist who today would find himself to the left of just about everyone in the U.S. Senate, and John Tower, the first Republican to hold that seat in almost a century. No Republican had won the Governor's Mansion since 1874.
"Fifty years later, the Texas Democratic Party has been reduced to irrelevance. The party has not won a statewide election since 1994 and in recent years has struggled to even field a slate of respectable candidates. How did this happen?"
